juxtaposition between that leadership you see at the white house versus, you know, the her thing they want to do is investigate hunter biden. like here we go. jen palm merry joins us, co-host of the circus on show time. the republicans in the senate, so many are horrified by what s happening with the republicans in the house. the problem for republicans is the whack jobs in the house that are going to make kevin mccarthy s life difficult because he doesn t know how to control them, those whack jobs are going to define the republican party over the next two years leading into 24. i think the message of the day yesterday was, you know, a respect and a love for democracy, a unity that, you know, it felt like a long time coming, the entire day, the events, the conversations, and the partnerships that were being built in open you know, for
exist. warnock hates western democracy and has said as much. president putin, the same. and you have the head of the heritage foundation praising and other republicans praising a man who says yes, illiberalism, it sounds great, doesn t it. what was beautiful last night is you ve got presidents of two countries saying this is a battle we re in, and as i heard them talking, it was just one of those moments, i said, my god, we always win this wartime and again. we, the people, we, the people, we always win in the end. i think last night was remarkable and those words do matter. thank you. at the end of the day, this is our oldest ally. france is our oldest ally. one of the things that s interesting is behind the
everyone s eyes to see. there was one more moving moment from president macron s visit yesterday where he awarded medals to five american world war ii veterans at the french embassy in washington, d.c. this was actually on wednesday. the legion of honor award, the highest honor in france was given to the veterans for the role they played in liberating france during the war. macron praised each veteran for their service and pinned medals on them. in a twitter post, he listed the names of the five veterans and wrote, you came to fight 80 years ago from the other side of the atlantic to ensure our shared ideals and faith in democracy would triumph. france will be eternally grateful. so, marc, in 2004, at the height of anti-americanism in france, i discovered a few things about france. i d been there once in high
indictment, strength of democracy, where does that mika, if i was, you know, back in my career in the past overseas, an embassy country team would get together and the ambassador would kind of set policy from the state department. the section heads would all kind of gather around and we d find our way to demarche the host government. often it had to do with candidates that were corrupt or countries going through turmoil. it s fascinating. the world is watching this right now. i think what s happening and ultimately this notion of accountability is really important because we have to practice what we preach. we do. and i think it remains to be seen what will happen. i think the signs are much better than the past, that somehow there will be accountability for this. we can t go around the world preaching about the rule of law and the importance of democracy if with don t practice. no man is above the law. state attorney, always good to see you. nice to have you in washington.
whatever reason the allies felt blind-sided by that even though we all knew that was what joe biden was going to do, but these relationships built on principles of democracy that were upheld in our country, upheld by shown by macron being re-elected. that s what continues to bind the country together. just to think about the beginning of last year when we saw that what was likely to happen in ukraine and people thinking is the united states up to this, can they lead after afghanistan, people aren t so sure. and can the nato alliance hold. and to see after the midterms we had those two presidents standing together to reaffirm democracy, reaffirm these republic values is reassuring. and then meanwhile the republican congress republican house wants to defund ukraine. defund zelenskyy. they think that s the winning issue and, like, the
